World First crowned Most Convenient 2017 in the finder Money Transfer Awards

World First, the international payments specialist, has been awarded the Most Convenient Award in the finder Money Transfer Awards 2017.

Finder.com is a comparison service comprised of a team of money experts. In a highly competitive process, they undertook a 3 month long challenge to send money internationally, in the process gathering quotes from a range of providers, ranking user experience, and verifying provider information to determine the best in the international payments space. They reviewed 35 companies and collected over 1,575 data points!

CEO and co-founder of finder.com Fred Schebesta said “When transferring money overseas, convenience for both the sender and the recipient is a key consideration. We measured a number of providers to find those that provided the most hassle-free experience and found World First a standout.

“Sending money to 56 countries, World First offers one of the highest daily maximums in the remittance business. Options that are hard to come by — like rate locks and forward transfers — create ease and maximize choices. Especially for those sending money often, World First offers a seamless experience.”

Commenting on the award, Chief Executive Officer of World First USA, Inc, Mike Ward, said:

“It’s always great to receive awards, especially ones like Most Convenient that recognize what we set out in the market to do. We’ve grown from a start-up in a South London basement, to a global organization all while retaining an absolute focus on our customers. We’re thrilled to add this latest recognition to the awards we’ve won.”
